Vizma finds lost mail and it's for me!

Vizma's envelope is not only attractive, it is also instructive. Did you know that rats help their blind mates?

I sent visma a bit of plastic and a stamp motif postcard. In superb DKULT style, Vizma photocopied and shared these with me, and possibly others. I am honoured! Viz also added a carefully chosen initial to the stamps, 'G' for Guyver, G for 'go' ...

On the inside of the envelope I found the question, 'who's afraid of spiders?' I put my hand up. I am very afraid of spiders. I can co-exist with them, I can ignore the spider in the outdoor shower. But I am afraid of them! Figgy got a spider bite a few years ago and a welt grew and oozed and eventually we took her to the emergency room and they told it was a brown recluse bite. She took her antibiotics carefully. Spiders... EEK.

I love the lines, 'is becom-a disaster both romanti-artistically.' The whole thing reminds me of Madmen.

About Me

I'm an artist-educator who uses imagery in all that I do, from painting, drawing, print-making and mail art to reflective journals around action research in schools. I believe in creating learning environments that are democratic, and collaborative where we are honest, open and caring.
